Please don't panic I haven't suddenly become a Bieber fan, it's just my most recent project, I was challenged by the boss (Julie) to use the NEW pleated ribbon range that will be available at Bee Crafty VERY SOON. So I chose one of the 99p Die Cut Words (Baby in case you hadn't guessed :) )

I use these words quite a bit as they are great for Hangers, Plaques, Cards, Flip Books, basically they are jsut handy and we can cut any word you want. However we do have some set words that you can buy online or in store.

All I have done is cover the die cut letters with either pink or rich cream card, outline with a pink promarker, and faux stitched with an inkssentials white pen.

The patterned paper I have used is an Arctic Frog 12x12 and they can be found

My crafting mojo seems to have resurfaced not only have i done the Home Sweet Home Hanger for this Saturdays Class and the Book of Me for Next Saturdays Class, I have also been working on a 3d Birdhouse (Class date to be confirmed).

and whilst sorting through my stash at home I realised how low I had become on several of my essentials and basics, whilst my mojo was off on it's jollydays. Like most of us I primarily get caught up with new goodies, and techniques, or NEW pretties like the Cherry Blossoms.

BUT what about card, regular 240GSM A4 Card, its fabulous, okay not as exciting as some other things but absolutely essential for what we do, and some sheets of that and some Ultra Smooth Card Stock for Digi Printing or stamping on and you are away﻿.

At Bee Crafty we have lots of A4 Cardstock.

Our 240GSM Coloured Card in A4 is available in lots of gorgeous colours and is available not only by the sheet (in store only) but also in packs of 10 for only £1.50

We also stock the Ultra Smooth Cardstock by Craftwork Cards, but again we package it in 10's for only £1.99 a pack

I hope you all managed to stay nice and toasty over the weekend and maybe get some crafting done. It was my little munchkins 4th Birthday on Friday and we have had an entire weekend of celebrating that, I can't believe she is 4 already and starts school in September VERY weird. Anywho this is why we scrapbook isn't it to make sure we keep as many moments as we can for as long as possible.

However it is very easy to keep up to date with pages, notes etc about the people we love, family & friends, when was the last time you did something about you? Well if I was to answer that the anser would be 2007 :)

We have some lovely papers in the shop and we will be using them to create the Book of Me series of classes starting on the 25th Feb.

In the first class we are going to make the Covers for our Book of Me, and I will have a sneak peek of that before the end of the week, but in addition to that we are going to make a small SMASH style book for you to take notes stick pictures etc in about things that you love or surround you to give you inspiration for your Book of Me Pages.

Which moves me seemlessly onto my next item which is the classes etc are now online to book, but if you would like to start coming to the crops etc and want to book 3 to guarantee your place you can save money as Crop&Craft is £5 but you can book 3 months for £10 (this can by done via email or over the phone or in store)

NEW PRODUCT

I was supposed to have a lovely NEW product to Bee Crafty to show you today but the suppliers are blaming City Link and Vice Versa but they are so yummy I didn't want to wait.

Paper Cherry Blossoms

These beautiful blossoms are 2.5cm across and will be available in small bunches. There are several colourways to tie in with your projects but take colourings such as misters and spritzers or watercolour with distress inks really well, and as soon as they are in I will demo this for you.

I will post on Facebook as soon as they are here so make sure you 'Like' Bee Crafty

Session 2 of your book of me, we will be taking ideas from your smash book to create gorgeous pages for this fabulous book dedicated to the brilliance that is you :)

We have taken on all the opinions of the people who contacted us regarding what they'd like to see on our classes and we have managed to fit everyone's ideas in.﻿ I am really looking forward to the monthly Book of Me classes and if you like the crop or want to start coming we are doing 3 for £10 if you book them all at the same time. They are not on the website yet, so if you want to book any before then please give us a call or email and we will send you a paypal invoice.

I hope you are all good and keeping warm, if you are crafting today, make sure you keep your feet warm socks and slippers are a must, so bright and sunny though so @I do feel that softens the blow when its cold.

Well here we are in February which can be disappointing because as our biggest trade show of the year is in 3 weeks it usually means we have a wait for New Goodies.

NOT THIS YEAR!!!!

We have just had in some GORGEOUS New Card Candi from Craftwork Cards which is so blooming lovely. Craftwork have really begun to think outside the box and the new ranges are foil decorated.

They are all available in the shop and online of course, I have got the biggest pictures I can get onthe website so they do expand if you click on them, however if you can get to the shop pop in, they are so much yummier in the flesh especially the Newsprint one, ooh heck its fab!

The others are delicious colours with foil accents with in stripes or stars with our Queen celebrating her Diamond Jubilee this year a fabulously topical colour set is Brittania

There are others too so bee sure to look at the Candi Page on the website or pop in :)
